Super Playlist Surf!

do you have .NET installed?

[NaturalChemical]

.NET?

[Mincus]

Presumably you're using XP?
Either install udpates up to service pack 3 or download the .NET 2.0 installer from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856EACB-4362-4B0D-8EDD-AAB15C5E04F5&displaylang=en

[NaturalChemical]

I've already got Service Pack 3 on both of them, but do I also need .NET from that link? Yes, it's XP.

I thought SP3 had .NET 2.0 already. That is the most likely explanation for your crash though.
Try downloading it anyway.

[NaturalChemical]

It just says that the install was not compatible with a previous version, so I think it's already in there. Are there any other files I need to download to use this, or should I keep looking for missing files on my system?

Edit: Wow, for some reason, re-installing .NET on the PC fixed my problem. Thanks for the help.

Awesome program first of all, I love it!

  There are a few things I'd ask, if possible.  First of all, let's say I have a directory, called music, that has 80 GB of music.  However, there might be an occasional .txt file, a .jpg file, or something that is not music in the top directory.  If that "song" is chosen, it crashes Audiosurf.  Would it be possible to have the program automatically exclude, os simply ignore Album Art, or any other files that are not specifically supported to avoid that, and also so I can avoid going into 300 directories individually, and then manually adding all the song files, excluding the non-supported ones? 

  In addition, it would be really convenient, if we could add files/folders to the playlist, simply by dragging them and dropping them into Super Playlist Surf from Windows Explorer.  If either of these are possible, please let me know.

It doesn't add txt or jpg files as far as I can see. 
It should just add supported filetypes.

Code: [Select]

string[] filetypes = { ".mp3", ".m3u", ".m4a", ".ogg", "flac", ".wma", ".wav" };
In fact I've set it up in such a way it seems impossible to add anything BUT these filetypes, so I'm not sure what is going wrong.
Could you post one of the Statistics .txt files after having Audiosurf crash please? As well as a saved .xml playlist.

As to drag and drop, that should be fairly easy to implement I think, I'll have a look into it.

I just initially added my entire music folder as a directory, and on the second song it crashed, then I went in, and manually added every 1,135 folders, to ensure it didn't happen again, so I may not be able to reproduce it.  However, the error in Audiosurf, if I remember right was the red one (Error 41, perhaps?), the same one that shows up in Audiosurf, if you try to play a recent song that has since been modified, or something, I believe.  I know I've seen it before, but it has been a long time, so if you don't see anything from me, don't worry.  :-P

Right, so Audiosurf didn't actually crash, it showed an error in playback (yes, there's a difference )
I'd say that was the Audiosurf and the song, not SPS, but if it happens again, a copy of the statistics file and .xml playlist would help me fix it.

Microsoft appear to have made adding multiple items from a drag and drop operation in .NET as hard as possible. 
I've got single files working, but I'm very busy with another project at the moment and I don't have time to devote to learning doing the voodoo rituals MS have decided I need to in this instance.

I might make a release with a fixed up button and single-file/single-directory drag and drop though.

Actually, no, it gave me the red error, then the whole program crashed, so whether it was SPS or Audiosurf, I'm not sure, but I DO know the whole program crashed, and that I had to restart it, and it crashed every time I tried, until I manually replaced the initial playlist with the newly modified one.  :-)  Good luck, no rush on that, of course, merely a suggestion.

The broken button is the down one

[Mincus]

The broken button is the down one

Then it shall be the down one I'll fix!
If I make this release, as I say I'm very busy with another project.

Edit: I should point out the source code is there for anyone who wants to add these features themselves.
If they work I'm happy to upload them, just chuck your name in a contributors file.
That is the point in open source after all!

Minor release 0.22:
 - Fixed down button when multiple objects selected.
 - Added drag and drop support.

Current known issues:
 - Drag and drop support ignores the "add directories recursively" option.
 - Dropping a file or directory on the bottom viewable item on a list will cause the item to be added to the end of the list, unsure how to work around this atm.

Same download link, look for v0.22.

Hey hey.

Since it's an open source addon, I've made a French translation of the addon.  Downloadable here through sendspace :
SuperPlaylistSurf French - source only - Version 0.22

Screenshot :


I also made a cleaner and easier to use User Interface (UI) in both English and French.  Source only.

English

French

Note that the Statistics Options window layout stays the same - except translated in the French version of course

Downloads :
SuperPlaylistSurf English - Source only - Alt. UI - Base Version 0.22
SuperPlaylistSurf French - Source only - Alt. UI - Base Version 0.22

You need Visual C# Studio to compile it.

Note to Mincus : I wasn't able to upload to sourceforge coz I would have needed you to add me to the project :\
